“Ron Breazeale is a master storyteller. In the engaging and radical tradition of Kurt Vonnegut, Breazeale weaves a masterful tale in First Night. This is a heroic story of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit, and Breazeale brilliantly captures and celebrates the conquest of hope over adversity. A romping good read.” ~ Don Nalls, Founder and Owner of the Nalls Group LLC

Two weeks before the first night of 2020, clinical psychologist Dr. Lee Brazil receives an unexpected visit Federal Agent Jennings who, several years earlier, had implicated Brazil in what was mistakenly believed to be a terrorist plot. He reminds Brazil that a condition of his release from federal detention might include future service to the FBI. And that future was now.

Brazil is asked to pick up a package in London and deliver it to Paris, where he is scheduled to attend a World Health Organization conference. Little does he know, he will be pulled into a greed-driven corporate battle to develop a supercomputer that could open the entire universe to colonization; thus raising the question: can science and technology grow without destroying the basic fabric of our society?
